I have just got back from an interview.At least this time the job was real. But............

The employer wanted me to start working for them finishing off someone else's mess in a location over 78 miles from my home involving 2 hours travelling each way.I would start working for them via an agency, and he said this would give him the chance to get the employment offer sorted out and would be a chance for them to see what I was like before I started the permanent job I thought I was being interviewed for!

I wasnt that keen to be honest and it showed. I said I would need something in writing and that was about that.

Apparently it now takes three weeks or longer to get a job offer sent out because the main board directors all have to approve the vacancy.

I assumed he meant he would let me know of his decision since this is what I asked him.

After driving a total of 4 hours spending £35 on fuel and 4 hours the day before cluing up on the company as well as the hour plus in the interview, I think a phone call, e mail or even god forbid a LETTER to let me know one way or another would be the LEAST he could do.

I did today at 12.30. I was told he was "in a meeting" and the secretary (if they are still called that) said it was against policy to give out e mail addresses but said she remembered me and would get him to call me. Now 3.20pm no call.

he couldn't even be bothered to call me himself. The agency said he was too busy but he found time to call them!AND the agency said I had "no right" to contact the employer directly as everything should go through them.
